Raising a Child and Getting Into Peking University in a 1970s Novel

After the college entrance exams were reinstated, her educated-youth husband took two years off work to earn an associate degree. Then he immediately turned cold and heartless, leaving her 200 yuan and their three-year-old daughter before filing for divorce and returning to the city.

When Yue Ning transmigrated into the story, the original owner was clinging to the scumbag's leg, weeping and begging him not to abandon his wife and child.

Yue Ning: ...I have a few choice words, but should I say them or not?

“Divorce is fine.”

“Pay me 20,000 yuan in garbage disposal fees, and buy yourself out of my life for good.”

Go on, then. Garbage belongs wherever garbage goes.

Yue Ning is a commitment-phobe.

She likes to pass through a crowd of flowers without a single petal clinging to her.

She once said that marriage was out of the question, and having children was even more unthinkable.

Then one day, she transmigrated into a book as a divorced country woman with a child.

Looking at her worried parents, her brother with a black eye and bruises on his face, and the soft, plump little girl with bright eyes, she silently hauled out a box of books.

Everyone in the village said she had gone crazy.

That is, until Yue Ning, who could barely recognize a handful of characters, got into Peking University, published articles and books, and was received by county officials. She was practically drowning in scholarship money and royalties.

Everyone: What?!

A few years later, she was invited to a factory to provide technical guidance, where she ran into her ex-husband, who had blown up the lab through a careless mistake and was being chewed out by his boss.

Yue Ning: Well, what do you know? The world really is small.

Reader's guide:

1. She doesn't cross paths much with the original protagonists. This is a separate world.

2. There is a couple: a slow-burn, companionable romance where they heal each other's inner wounds. Sweetness comes later.

3. The heroine is raising a child. She acts rather bluntly at first, and her journey into motherhood is a bumpy one. She's a mother who grows over time.

Check out my upcoming story, "Transmigrating into a Dimwit Female Supporting Character". It's probably a goofy, feel-good power fantasy.

Blurb:

Ye Xuan transmigrates into a detective novel, where she becomes the female supporting character with rock-bottom intelligence, the plot's biggest obstacle, the protagonist team's foil, and the number-one troublemaker who makes everyone else look stupid.

When she arrives, a desperate bandit has her trapped in an old warehouse, locked in a standoff with the police outside.

“Hello, Host. Your mission is to trip up the male and female leads, derail their assignments, and constantly act brainless, so the characters in the book can look smart. Your performance will be graded A, B, C, or D. A C or higher is a passing grade.”

Ye Xuan: “...”

No thanks. See you around.

Then, at the first opportunity, she snatches the knife and beats the bandit until he calls her Daddy, kicks open the warehouse door, and throws him outside.

The male and female leads and the officers outside, who were preparing a rescue plan: “???”

Ye Xuan was once a famous constable of the Six Doors, renowned for her brilliant mind and her ability to solve one strange case after another.

After transmigrating into a dimwit supporting character, she dutifully follows the plot, never using her brain when brute force will do.

The System trembles: “Host, you did everything! What are the male and female leads supposed to do? The, the plot is falling apart! QAQ...”

Ye Xuan: “Is there a problem?”

The System: “N-no problem!”

Then it draws a huge “A” on her evaluation sheet with tears in its eyes.

It really is an A, just not the “A” in A, B, C, D.

Don't ask. She has no brains.
